Don’t believe the polls, here’s why

Traveling recently through North Virginia, it was clear that the area is no where near as pro-Obama as the media would have you believe. It reminded me of the CNN reporter in North Carolina who just days before had said on air that while the polls gave Obama an edge in that state, John McCain seemed to have a clear advantage on the ground.

80% OF THOSE ASKED TO BE POLLED REFUSE TO RESPOND

EXIT POLLS WILL HAVE THIS EFFECT ON AN EVEN WORSE LEVEL

IN THE END WE’LL WIN – EVERYTHING LOOKS THAT WAY ON THE GROUND

Brian Wilson of Fox who traveled all over the swing states said the polls don’t reflect what is happening on the ground.

Watch the stock markets as they are future values not referendums of the past. An Obomba victory is already priced in and if indeed he wins; markets will not further react. Alternatively, McCain’s victory will shock indexes vertically.

Thi sis exactly correct. Obama will get all the black vote, but the democrats always got it anyway, so nothing is different except the degree of Republican turnout. And a lot of Republicans are NOT apathetic about Marxism

Notice how most of the polls a few days ago were 4-8 points +Obama????

Last night, most were 1-2 points or even.....Polls don’t want to be that far off because of credibility for the NEXT election cycle...

Remember that guy in IA at a McCain town meeting who said, “I’m mad, REALLY MAD!”

That’s what’s happening on the ground and the reporters and the pollsters have blinders on.

I absentee voted last month in CO. What's already clear is there's not going to be this mythical 7-10+ Dem turnout the polls were talking about. If you look at Battleground and what's happening on the ground, Obama is going to be in for the shock of his life tonight!

Exactly, you don't actually think the prospect of Obama in the WH is an inducement for economic recovery. In fact, I don't know anyone who thinks so.

However, in another stunning scenario of abject MSM malfeasance, the whole topic of an Obama victory precipitating a further plunge and/or a more prolonged slump is avoided altogether.

The Shy Republicans and the PUMAs will stun the Washington establishment. People are fed up, motivated and just want to get to the polls to vote.

And that's why I propose that in the next election cycle we organize a polling equivalent of Operation Chaos. We will publicly and deliberately let everyone know we are supporting the opposition candiate in the polls. We will end the tyranny of endless polling by undermining its "credibility."

And don't forget many conservative Democrats are not going to vote for Obama!

There are hundreds of thousands of people who voted in the last two Presidential cycles and did NOT vote for Bush who WILL vote for McCain.

That’s the ONE POLL that has not been revealed but will give McCain the edge.

The Silent Majority speaks again tonight. What a shock this will be if The One loses to an old geezer whose running mate is a hick (Sarcasm).
